- There is a very good book (if you like the technical, nitty-gritty,
- mathematical model/formalas) called "Speaker Design Cookbook" or something
- like that. The only place I've seen it advertised is in a magazine called
- "Speaker Builder", which is a high-end specialty magazine that we get at
- work (high-end car stereo shop). I don't have a copy with me, or I'd give
- you a phone number, but most high-end home/car audio shops subscribe to this
- magazine, and you could ask to see a copy. The book is about $25, and is in
- it's second edition. I used the first edition to write some speaker enclosure
- modelling software for various enclosure types, and it had everything I
- needed (except so-called 5th/7th order enclosures, which I think the new
- edition covers).
